===JPEG ===

'''The [[JPEG]] (Joint Photographic Experts Group)''' image files are a lossy format.. The filename extension is JPG. Nearly all digital cameras have the option to save images in JPEG format, some at different compression levels, such as “fine” and “standard.” The JPEG format supports full color and produces relatively small file sizes. Fortunately, the compression in most cases does not distract noticeably from the image. But, JPEG files do suffer generational degradation when repeatedrepeatedly edited and saved. These files are best kept in original form. Because of the compression algorithm “artifacts” (blemishes) sometime appear.
